Job description

About the Role

We're looking for a driven, hands‑on Patient Recruitment Specialist to support recruitment operations across a portfolio of clinical trials. This role blends direct patient engagement, marketing support, and data‑driven performance tracking — perfect for someone who takes ownership, works well independently, and thrives in a fast‑moving, multi‑study environment.

If you love building relationships with patients, hitting ambitious enrollment goals, and using data to constantly improve how you work — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Own Recruitment Activities

• Support recruitment activities across all active trials, ensuring enrollment volume, protocol compliance, and visit readiness stay on track
• Personally engage patients via phone, text, and email — explaining study opportunities, screening for eligibility, and guiding them from first contact through enrollment
• Keep the CTMS accurate and current, and update sponsor/CRO recruitment portals in real time
• Schedule appointments and coordinate participant handoffs to the clinical team

Drive Results with Data

• Track your recruitment metrics — leads, prescreens, screen‑fail rate, and conversion — and report on them regularly
• Monitor campaign performance (cost‑per‑randomization, screen fail rates, yield by source) and flag opportunities for improvement

Support Marketing & Campaigns

• Help execute per-protocol advertising campaigns, working alongside vendors and internal marketing partners
• Support IRB approval submissions for all patient‑facing materials
• Contribute to social media content and study web page updates

Stay Compliant

• Operate in line with GCP, protocol requirements, and applicable regulations throughout

What We're Looking For

• Prior experience in a clinical research environment — strongly preferred
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your own recruitment pipeline
• Comfort talking clinical trial processes, disease states, and GCP principles with confidence
• Marketing or digital/social campaign experience is a great plus
• Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce a plus) and familiarity with CTMS platforms (CRio a plus)
• Strong communicator who builds trust across clinical, marketing, and administrative teams
• Bachelor's degree preferred, ideally in a health‑related field — equivalent experience will be considered
